DESCRIPTION

According to its Grade II Listing The Old Vicarage at Gluvias was constructed in the 17th Century and probably amalgamated an earlier building. It was later remodelled in the mid 18th Century and early 19th Century to make it even more grand as church funds allowed. The property displays all the hallmarks of a beautiful period house with its formal south facing façade being of seven windows wide with a central doorway leading out from the drawing room to the terrace. This enormous run of tall sash windows fills the space with light and also provides a charming outlook over the historic tree and large shrub lined grounds. The east elevation looks into the grounds and on this side there are further large sash windows including enormous ones in a semi hexagonal bay which also provide south light. The building is now ripe for modernisation with much of its original character and features still in situ including slate sills, shuttered and panelled internal window surrounds, fireplaces, high ceilings, tall skirting boards, elegant mouldings and exposed floorboards. There appears to be significant possibility for the amalgamation of certain rooms or for the repurposing of rooms to provide en-suite facilities and a more significantly sized kitchen to fit with modern desires. In addition, the attic space is believed to have been former staff accommodation and is loosely arranged as two rooms without windows. There certainly appears to be potential to create additional accommodation on the second floor, subject to gaining all necessary consents. Furthermore, there is also a significant cellar approached via stairs from the hall, also with great potential.

The gardens are laid out to the east and south sides of the house with a very wide and deep granite chipped terrace across the front. Around the edge of the grounds are tall trees, huge rhododendrons and camelias along with many other specimens including a large magnolia beside a sizeable terrace on the east side of the house. Some of the lawns are now 4 Ref: LCAA7239, LCAA7240 and LCAA7294 somewhat overgrown but there are still large expanses of open garden edged by these massive wonderful plants which would take a generation to grow. To the rear are courtyards with high slate capped stone walls. The grounds for the house extend to just over 1 acre. To the north of The Old Vicarage is the Coach House which now benefits from conditional planning consent for conversion into a three bedroomed dwelling, the plans of which are contained within these sales particulars.

LOCATION

The Old Vicarage and Coach House are exceptionally conveniently located being just a short walk from the ancient and historic town centre of Penryn with its comprehensive range of facilities which adequately cater for day to day needs with an eclectic mix of retail and commercial facilities on offer. An ever expanding and highly regarded campus at Tremough plays a large part in not only Penryn’s day to day activity but also Falmouth which is linked to the University intrinsically. The large neighbouring town of Falmouth offers a wider range of commercial and retail facilities together with supermarkets on the outskirts of both Falmouth and Penryn. The surrounding road network gives access to both Truro and further west to and to The Lizard Peninsula. Within walking distance of the property is Penryn train station which is on the branch line between Falmouth and Truro where it links onto the mainline network with direct trains to London Paddington taking around 4½ hours.

Penryn and Falmouth are famed for their maritime history and there are excellent sailing facilities near at hand with marinas and moorings available by application in the Penryn River which opens out onto the Carrick Roads and then Falmouth Bay. There are many creeks and inlets to explore around the safe sailing waters of the Carrick Roads as well as various sandy beaches. To the west is the picturesque , once again a haven for the keen sailing enthusiast. It is only a few minutes’ drive from the property to the waterside communities of Flushing and Mylor where there are further waterfronting facilities and excellent inns amongst other services. 5 Ref: LCAA7239, LCAA7240 and LCAA7294 LOT 1 : THE OLD VICARAGE

The is mostly commonly approached from the rear courtyard where a sizeable door opens into the large entrance hall with two windows to the side and a section of glazing with a glazed door then opening through to the high ceilinged main reception hall with its grand turning staircase leading to the galleried landing above with a beautiful ceiling moulding over lit by a tall sash window. Off the main reception hall panelled doors leads through beautiful architraves to the dining room and drawing room and a door into a large cloakroom/wc. An inner hall provides access to the morning room and kitchen/breakfast room as well as down to the extensive cellars.

The dining room and drawing room sit beside each other and extend across the entire south facing main façade of the house. The dining room has three sets of south facing sash windows with panelled surrounds and shutters, a huge recess with a thick slate shelf or display area, a fireplace, tall skirtings and ceiling mouldings. A door to the side opens into an access to the exposed stone exterior walling. The adjacent drawing room has much the same style, with both rooms also being under a near 10’ high ceiling. Two panelled and shuttered sash windows face south over the garden with the third aperture being a mostly glazed door onto the terrace. This room also has a fireplace with arched topped recesses to either side and on the east elevation is a further large window with shutters.

Although the morning room is not as large, it shares much of the distinction of the other two rooms due to his huge east and south facing windows and here one would also find a marble fireplace. Adjacent to the morning room is a good sized kitchen/breakfast room with a dual aspect outlook and also with a part glazed door to the rear courtyard. Off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry with slate cold shelves and beside this is the boiler room housing a modern Worcester boiler. 6 Ref: LCAA7239, LCAA7240 and LCAA7294

7 Ref: LCAA7239, LCAA7240 and LCAA7294 The staircase rises to the first floor galleried landing approximately in the centre of the accommodation which then radiates around it. On the south facing side are three bedrooms with one of them having window seats below its two south facing windows and a further huge window to the east side which from this elevated position takes in a dramatic outlook into the grounds. The central bedroom is the smallest of the three, whilst the one to the west side also has two south facing windows and a door into a sizeable dressing room also with a south facing window. A door from the dressing room then opens into a further very large room with a dual aspect to the side and rear as well as a period walk-in wardrobe and old fireplace, as some of the other rooms also have. These three rooms have great potential to become a master suite although what is arguably the most impressive room is over the morning room and here one will find a 10’ high ceiling and a huge arched window on the east elevation in the semi hexagonal bay. At the moment the bedrooms are served by just one simply furnish bathroom which curiously has a door to a staircase leading up to two further attic rooms opening up further possibilities, subject to all necessary consents being obtained.
